As if the original 'Nora' video wasn't completely disarmingly precious enough. Now, a friend has sent me the sequel. Oh, Nora. Can you come over and play?
Love it! Have a cat too. No piano though. I bet if there was cat nip between the keys it would go from classical to more rock music, haha. Great clip. Thanks for sharing. Now have to go digging for the original Norah clip.
This has nothing to do with your post here, but I thought it was the one you'd look at first. I went to Carioca and didn't see you there. I pressed on 'from Pluto' (sci-fi buff here) and
I'm a baby boomer, married to a Carioca, with three children, Sarah, Summer, Jordan - each of whom is greater than the sum of their parents. Nana Dragonfly to Charlotte!!!! Mom to Lucy, the wonder border collie, Bixby, the orange tabby terror, and Kippy Kadoo, the crazy Bengal. Connoisseur of all things dark-chocolate and always ready for a new incarnation of it, preferably with a 'higher percentage'. Can you spell addict?
(Currently) The Most Beautiful Thing in the Universe
The set of Nocturnes, which includes the Shining Night below, has two other pieces. One sets a Rilke poem; the other, a Pablo Neruda. Lauridsen seems to have a deep-spirit crave for excessively wonderful texts.
'Sure on This Shining Night' by Morton Lauridsen. Samuel Barber must have left just enough grace-filled space in the universe after writing his version for Mort to come up with his. You'll weep for wonder.
What I'm Listening to...
'Verse', Patricia Barber. The SMARTEST & most exciting jazz singer ever. Her original, rich-fare lyrics will blow your mind.
Mass in Blue, British Composer, Will Todd. Includes scrumptuous anthems. Ave Verum Corpus is a wonder. Ditto for Christus est Stella.

Why won't my cats play with me like that? Amazing.
Isn't she precious? It's uncanny...she almost seems sensitive to pitch and rhythms.
What a dear!
Hey, hey, Baby. While Mom's away, this Cool Cat wants to 'play'.
How 'bout cuddling up to a strapping orange tabby? I'm every felina's dreammmmmmmm - James Dean in a fur coat.
Nibbling's my specialty (OK...I admit...biting).

Mr. Bixby:
My mommy warned me never to get involved with an orange tabby.
But my cousin, Prudence, says they really can show you a good.........oops, time to practice.
